Olympic Jumping Complex
Olympic Venue · Lake Placid, New York
The ski jumps outside Lake Placid, built for the 1980 Winter Games and rebuilt since — ⚠ TWO TOWERS OF 90 AND 120 METRES RISING OUT OF THE ADIRONDACK FOREST, visible for miles and unlike anything else in the eastern United States. ⚠ THE SKYRIDE TAKES THE PUBLIC TO THE TOP OF THE 128-METRE JUMP by gondola and lift, which is a genuinely alarming place to stand.
5486 Cascade Road, Lake Placid, New York, 12946, United States
⚠ CHECK WHETHER THE SKYRIDE IS RUNNING — the gondola-and-lift to the top of the 128-metre jump CLOSES IN HIGH WIND AND LIGHTNING WITHOUT NOTICE, and it is the reason most visitors come. ⚠ THEY JUMP YEAR ROUND, in summer onto a plastic-matted landing hill, and the freestyle aerials water ramp runs in summer too — ⚠ ASK AT THE DESK WHETHER ANYONE IS TRAINING, because watching is better than any tour. ⚠ BUY THE ORDA COMBINATION PASS BEFORE YOUR FIRST LAKE PLACID LEGACY SITE; it covers this complex, the Olympic Center, Mt Van Hoevenberg and Whiteface. ⚠ COMPETITION DAYS RESTRICT ACCESS. ⚠ The observation deck is fully exposed and cold in every season.
